Marissa Woodruff and her classmates at Rochester School for the Deaf (RSD), in Rochester, NY, are addressing a problem long confronted by Deaf and Hard of hearing airline passengers, the inability to get information once in flight. They are proposing that airlines add LED Messaging Boards in their planes, like the ones RSD uses in all of its school buildings.
The RSD 10th class is starting with one airline, Jet Blue, in hopes that the idea will spread. Soon, a Jet Blue representative will visit RSD to see the students proposal. If successful the change may begin locally with Rochester flights. It is obvious that this simple and fairly inexpensive technology would benefit not only the Deaf and Hard of hearing but all passengers.
